Would you say a society that focuses on genetic and biologic manipulation and inovation rather then technological improvements like ours could ever rival a modern society in hard sci-fi?

In a previous post someone brought up the point that machines thought could run at light speed where as a humans could only be a millionth of that. So one example scenario is that if we assume ethics is out the window could any society use the above practices ever rival an industrial society that does favors machinery and tech? Could they still be relevant by the time they reach the internet age?

Living infrastructure is fucking amazing but melting down (possibly toxic but let's not think about this too hard _cough rome, cough_) metal and putting water into hollow tube is just so much more accessible.

Like I love what OP is going for aesthetically and theoretically a LOT but it'd be an And not an Instead in most cases.

I'm low on caffeine so I'll try to keep it brief.

One superhuman will always underperform an industrial chain.

Being able to carry a tree or doing advanced arithmetic from birth is great and should be pursued but a city that gets its water through sophisticated piping and treatment systems will always work better than one where it's carried by hand via tireless extremely enthusiastic servants.
